The status page is the default Admin too page. It gives you a summary of the
current state of the engine. Here you’ll find out which release you are
running, how much memory it is using, how it is configured for communication
with other engines and which, if any, long running tasks are in progress.

The changesets page provides information about changesets and checkpoints
for the engine instance. It let’s you upload new data into the engine, see a
history of previous data uploads, create a checkpoint or clear all data from
the engine.

This feature will remove any changesets and empty your index.
This is a developer-feature.

Changeset Type

Choose a changeset type from the options: Snapshot, Full, Delta or Bulk.

snapshot

Clears all data and replaces it with the content of the imported changeset.
Data will be removed and the index may be temporarily unavailable until the
new data has been loaded.

bulk

Similar to snapshot except that the changeset may only contain set-item elements
with no duplicate items. This type of changeset can use a highly-optimized load
process, significantly reducing application time.

full

Similar to snapshot except that the data in the index is available at all times.
The full changeset type loads the data on top of the existing data and then deletes
any items that were not in the imported changeset.

delta

Updates data with the contents of the changeset without affecting any items not
specifically included in the changeset.

Import

Browse for a changeset file, choose a changeset type and use the Import button
to import the file.

The engine will optionally pull changeset data from another engine (multi-server Data configuration)
or it can automatically request changeset data on a time interval that you
choose (only one of these two options can be used at a time). Additionally, the
time at which the Discovery Search Engine may create a checkpoint can also be
configured using this option.

The Admin Tool allows these options to be changed and saved dynamically.

Determines that the engine pull it’s dimensions from another engine or other
web service. This option is only useful if the dimensions file
should be synchronized from a different master engine than the engine that
serves the changeset data.

Enabled

Determines if the settings visible in this section are currently enabled.

Engine/URL

Determines if the URL specified in Sync is an another Discovery engine or
a web service.

Example:

http://localhost:8091

Sync

Determines the URL from which to request the updated dimensions file.

Interval

Determines the frequency with which dimensions are requested from the URL specifed
by Sync.

This setting determines URL of the Discovery Search Engine (Data Master) from which to pull
(synchronize) a changeset.

If both dimensions and changesets will be served by a master engine, then it is only
necessary to use master. This option is only useful if the changesets
should be synchronized from a different master engine that the engine that
serves the dimension data.

By selecting the Sync or Feeds option, customers can determine the source of their
changeset data.

Enabled

Determines if the settings visible in this section are currently enabled.

Engine/URL

Determines if the URL specified in Sync is an another Discovery engine or
a web service.

Sync

When this option is enabled, changesets come from a changeset publisher. Determines
the URL from which to request the updated dimensions file.

Example:

http://example.com:8090/ws/changeset

Feeds

When this option is enabled, changesets come from a changeset publisher.

For more information on creating a feed using a changeset publisher, refer
to Changesets.

Restart with complete feed now

Use this option to request the changeset publisher to send a complete feed at the next scheduled
interval. The complete feed can be defined as either a Snapshot, Full or Bulk type.

URL

Determines the URL from which to request the updated changeset.

Example:

http://example.com/changeset.php?profile=production

Interval

Determines the frequency with which changesets are requested from the URL specified
by Sync or Feeds.

For more information on creating a feed using a changeset publisher, refer
to Changesets.

The engine name is used to display on the Admin Tool. It
is useful for customers that have multiple engines running at one time as it
makes it easier to identify which Admin Tool window applies to which
Discovery Search Engine.

Time Zone

The time zone is used when displaying dates and times of changeset
and checkpoint activities in the Admin Tool.

Locale

The locale definition string that will determine formatting of numbers and
dates in the Admin Tool.
